Testimonials: What attendees enjoyed most about the 2024 Gender Journeys Day Conference

Kumu Hina’s opening speech was one of the most powerful presentations I have ever experienced. I’m forever grateful to have heard her speak today. Maika’i loa to all of you.”
— Parent of a gender diverse keiki
Feeling supported and sharing with others.
— Educator
I loved connecting with other providers and community members, being able to support the community with their needs.
— Healthcare provider
I’m a trans youth and being a part of this was important. My dad is my biggest ally and even though he supports me fully, having him here was important.
— Gender diverse keiki
The sense of community and seeing we are not the only ones going on this journey - we aren’t alone.
— Parent of a gender diverse keiki
It was personally empowering for me in my own journey of gender expression.
— Educator
